Support from a psychologist

Support with learning, behaviour and development

All our schools, nurseries and establishments work with
educational psychologists to help pupils that need support with their

learning

behaviour

development.

To refer a child to us please see below.

We assess pupils to find what stage they are at with language,
motor, personal and social skills. In doing this we speak with the pupil, their
parents and their teachers. We also look over the pupil’s work and may come to
see them in class or other learning environment.

The support offered will be based on research and evidence and may include

advice on changes to the curriculum

intervention around learning and behaviour

suggestions for creating a support plan.
